This is great. I extend a huge "thank you" to those businesses that respect and honor our veterans, who have sacrificed so much so that we don't have to.

A huge "thank you" to Governor Palin also for highlighting this. On Facebook, she wrote:

My son just sent the link below to me because he and his friends so sincerely appreciate businesses that recognize our vets! I hope this encourages other businesses to honor our vets on Monday (& everyday) like these restaurants are doing on Veteran's Day.

The link gives a list of the businesses offering Veterans Day discounts, sales, and free meals. In part, MilitaryBenefits lists:
